Case, I get it. Screen protectors?

I never once got the thing on correctly. I almost always just get frustrated and just take it off and give up.

I especially hate those “screen protector” thing that comes with the case, since those are just a thin fimsy layer of plastic and gets so oilly and greasy…

Many people probabaly use cases, but do you also use a screen protector, or is that redundant? Every phone these days have gorilla glasss 5 anyways, what even is the point?

    Yes. And I use only rugged phones.

    I work in an environment where not having one would be very unwise but even before I’ve used screen protectors. It became standard practice from the moment the usable screen area became too large to not being worthy of protecting by my own means and efforts.

    I’ve used those flexible anti scratch protectors, the hard, glass like, and the new generation gel films. I personally prefer the hard, supposedly tempered, screen protectors.

    It is a learned skill to apply a screen film properly, I’ll admit, as I will admit I have ruined my share of it. I used to just buy it in bulk to allow for mistakes.

    There are quite affordable vaccum machines that do wonders for those who are less apt at applying those films. Only work for hard glass or flexible; the gel ones have to be precision cut.

    If you wear a lot of films, it may be a reasonable expense. Applying one protecting film can cost me anywhere between €8 to €20. The machines I’ve seen cost around €60.
